I had that problem on a CF I had once. I thought thought the diff was broken.
It turned out the shank nuts holding the wheels on were too long, causing the wheel to rattle under load.
Extra washers fixed it.

Ah yes I suspected that and shaved down the nuts on the offending wheels. (go to town skip).
I'll do the rest of the wheels soon and feel a bit more comfortable about it.

hope jeffs suggestion is the cure raze my good man. .  as the only way i know ( for  sure.) to get rid of beddy gremlins, involves half a pint of holy water, wiv 3 peeled garlic cloves soakin in it in a plassy squirter bottle, one must be, & i cannot stress this point enough, dressed in nothing other than their socks & an authentic wooden juju mask to boot!! liberally douse the offending gremlin infected areas with yor blessed beddy squirter, whilst hopping around ( on yor right foot only ) left leg extended straight out, & mutter loudly over & over. ."oogidee boogidee eeebee geeby eureka" prob a minute should see the little bugaG gone. . hey no knockin till tried please. .it worked for me  ;)  ;) granted i live in the middle of nowhere, so hope your workshop does not face out onto smith st raze  ???  ??? as this method can only be done  at a particular time, being 12-30 pm any weekday arvo after your last full moon till it has waned.. oh yes and all the doors must be open  ;)  ;)  ;)  ;)  ::)

Thanks Skip.
The embarrasing thing is I went through all that last week and stupid me used shallots instead of garlic.
Oh well start again.

Today I shaved my nuts.
No more knock.
While I was at it I found the rear brakes were binding. I un-adjusted them and it runs better. The brakes are now a bit soft so I may have to get them machined.
